Delicious Orie, the Russian-born heavyweight who idolised then sparred with Anthony Joshua, will box for England in the Commonwealth Games.
The 6ft 6in super-heavyweight has been given the chance to become Golden Delicious by following in the footsteps of Joe Joyce and Frazer Clarke - winners of his division at the last two Games in Glasgow and Gold Coast.
Orie moved from Moscow to host city Birmingham as a seven-year old after his Nigerian father was the victim of a racial assault on public transport.
